Lol cheers nick. Lacquer afterwards?


that would help the durability.


But I'm with Johnny, whatever you do will probably look poor. Personally, I would remove all traces of the marking and do without it. How many other people are likely to ever drive the car? It's not as if the button gets pressed often - I've could count the number of times I used sport on my digits.

Yeah fair comments mate. I’ll try the stationery “S” and see what it’s like. If not I’ll use annihilators one cos that’s still got the letter on just a touch faded.  :y

Evening guys. Ordered the gaiter set and they arrived this morning!!! Did the handbrake gaiter. Took ten minutes. Pry off old staples and gaiter. Glue on new one. Done. Looks fantastic!!!

Still got the gear stick to do but so far so good 😃😃😃
Please can you tell me what do you search for on ebay to find the correct seller? I can't seem to find them.

In the OP's first post he says he got it from 'The Tuning Shop' which is in Cornwall I believe. Listed as Omega C though, as stated by the OP, which to my knowledge doesn't exist.

Hope that helps.  :y

Evening guys. Hope you are all well  :y

I also got the same gaiters off the tuning shop last week (fathers day gift) and haven't yet had the chance to fit them. The gearbox one did look a little bit like more a manual one. Has anyone had success in fitting the gearbox one yet and how do you get around the large gearshift knob? I am guessing a little cutting of the gaiter?

TIA

Guessed correctly, unless you fancy completely dismantling the shift mechanism  :D

haha i did look into how best to remove the gear knob and quickly realised "I'm not doing that" lol. Needle n thread it is I guess while reversed to ensure best look.

Thanks
